What's the story?

Nina Sky is made up of identical 18-year old Puerto Rican twins, Natalie and Nicole Albino, from Queens, N.Y. Their debut CD includes the dance hit \"Move Ya Body\" and some other nice, good-natured, R&B surprises. The CD begins with a self-referential introduction that's kind of grand for a pop album that actually delivers well-written dance tunes and an empowering message or two.

Is it any good?

Good-natured sexual innuendo abounds in the dance tracks, filled with lookin' hot, lickin' lips, and getting turned on. "Let It Go" contains the CD's only four-letter word ("Ain't gonna take your sh*t" is the lyric); but for those who pay attention to lyrics, the real substance is in songs like "You Deserve," a plea to a girlfriend in a bad relationship, featuring a cameo from Betty Wright ("You deserve so much more/A lovely man to care for you/You don't have to hurt no more...so don't be scared to walk away"); "Let it Go," a young woman's declaration of relationship independence; and "Surely Missed," a sweet memorial for a friend killed in an accident.

Consistently pleasant, the well-produced tracks allow the sisters' vocals to shine. Smooth and expressive, they get their point across -- whether the point is flirty fun, break-up angst, or a no-nonsense girlfriend reality check.
